Saw one at the dealer yesterday. She ain't no beauty but she looks most def. much better in the flesh.
I'm pretty sure the new 1-series will be a huge sales success again.

jraymond · 10-01-2011, 05:37 PM

I will not be buying a 1 that looks this fugly in the front, yikes. How could they seriously approve that? Hire Bangle back or fire someone

Bangle was still @ BMW when the F20 was finalised in 2008.

bimmerJP · 10-01-2011, 06:28 PM

Man! I really have to say this. This 1 Series has a better cup holder than my 3! What the...

Haha... Now we know why...

BTW, I love that husky scott!!

DDS2015 · 10-01-2011, 06:33 PM

I like the side and rear profile of this thing. Not sure how I feel about the front though still. I will probably never see one of these on the streets in NA so it really doesn't matter how I feel. Also the 2-series is supposedly going to have a different face so I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I wouldn't mind seeing some accurate renders of said 2-series coupe though.

bimmerJP · 10-01-2011, 06:44 PM

I actually don't get it. Why is every one complaining that 1 doesn't have enough space for rear seat. I mean, it is a "1" series. If you want a bigger car, get a 3.

Anyway, I actually like the side profile. Actually every BMW's side profile is great. At least in my brain...

Prince_of_Persia · 10-01-2011, 07:21 PM

So ugly!!!!

6MT M3 · 10-01-2011, 09:08 PM

50mpg? I might lease one just because of that.

LOL probably he meant before Bangle was finalized haha

The profile looks really good but... as soon as it starts to turn to the front that's when the nightmare begins... it feels like the nose of the car is like the widest part of the car...like it's 20cm wider than the rest of the car....

M3Monster · 10-01-2011, 09:23 PM

Looks alone its quite ugly, if I was in the market for a small hatchback I would go with the Audi A3.

red-sauerkraut · 10-01-2011, 09:34 PM

The smaller the car, the larger the headlights.

If you don't like it, don't buy one!

Fraggy · 10-01-2011, 10:08 PM

Didn't the 1 just come out? Time for a redesign already?

MusclezMarinara · 10-01-2011, 10:43 PM

i like it looks nice

PKumarM3 · 10-01-2011, 11:37 PM

god that car is ugly.

the interior is nicer than the current 1, but holy christ thats an ugly car.

335togo · 10-01-2011, 11:44 PM

That thing is feakin ugly....please take that badge off before the auto industry sees it.

Come on Man!

Just_me · 10-02-2011, 12:30 AM

I ve driven 118i two times now. The new turbocharged 4-cylinders is really good. Feels fast and good torque down the revs. The steering feedback back is excellent. Respons quickly to reaktions and with precise feedback. Just like previous version, the driving joy is there.
If the car looks good or not depends on the color and wheels. IMO dark colors are needed.
Top quality interior, much better than the old. Rear space has grown but not best in the segment. Downside is the price.
